Embattled 'supermayor' Tiffany Henyard extended her ongoing feud with the Village of Dolton’s board of trustees Tuesday when she proceeded with a board meeting despite it being postponed by trustees. Henyard, a Democrat, has been at loggerheads with the board for months in the wake of allegations of excessive spending and corruption. She declared at the meeting that her administration had 'cleaned up' the suburban Illinois town despite a report that its budget had plunged into the red.
She also appointed new village staffers at the meeting, although the appointments are likely not valid. The trustees decided to postpone Tuesday’s regular board meeting until Sept. 12 in order to address 'several urgent matters,' including finalizing the village budget, establishing a new bank account, and hiring a new auditor.
